Flying High

A couple of the MX2 riders competing in race 1 at Hawkstone Park International Motocross meeting

[Lou Ann]

Oh my goodness what an incredible capture!!!!!

[Nova]

WOW Peter, what an awesome capture. You caught the moment perfectly and with such clarity. You must have lots of practice with these type movement images as your shutter speed is spot on. :)

[Liz Milne]

Fantastic!

[Babs]

Wow great shot, hope his landing was safe. Fav

[Denise Wood]

Great action capture :)

[Dianne]

Incredible image. Fav

[Ron]

Love that perspective and the great action capture. Motocross events do make for some great photo opportunities.

[Caterina]

Great image. So perfectly captured. Fav

[Wylie]

Great capture, lovely mud!!

[Peter]

@louannwarren Thank you so much for both your comment and fav, Lou Ann:)

[Peter]

@novab Thanks for both your lovely comment and fav Nova, I needed to up the shutter speed for this shot as I had very little time to react as the riders came into view:)

[Peter]

@spanishliz Many thanks for both your comment and fav Liz:)

[Peter]

@onewing Thanks Babs its all about scrubbing off speed in the air, they turn the bike sideways to reduce their speed and straighten out just before touchdown they always manage get it right:)

[Dawn]

Well timed action shots fav

[Peter]

@gilbertwood Thank you for your comment Denise, you just can not fail to get a great action shot at an event like this:)

[Peter]

@dide Thank you for your great comment and fav Dianne, I remember you have done this type of thing before they are great events aren't they:)

[Peter]

@stray_shooter Thank you for your great comment Ron, yes great events to attend, I had my camera on manual shooting raw images and played around with the settings, I even managed to get it right sometimes, got back home last night and found I took around 700 shots it may take me some time to sort them out, lol:)

[Peter]

@caterina Many thanks for both your lovely comment and fav, Caterina its appreciated:)

[Peter]

@pusspup Thank you so much for finding the time to comment Wylie, it was much dryer than last years event when it snowed, unfortunately I could not attend there due to poor driving conditions, my son made it and got some great shots:)

[Peter]

@Dawn Thank you for your comment Dawn its appreciated:)

[Henri Russell]

Wow! He is really flying.

[Peter]

@henrir Thank you for your comment Henri:)

[Taffy]

This is amazing. The freezing of movement is perfect. An instant fav.

[Peter]

@taffy Thank you so much for your comment Taffy, I had very little time to react once they came in view hence a shutter speed of (1/1250 sec) for this one:)

[Lee]

Great action shot and very effective. Personally I probably wouldn't have included the bloke on the left, or maybe cloned him out Post.

[Peter]

@gamelee Thanks for your suggestion Lee, I had included the marshal and post to give a feeling that it was an event and not a couple of chaps playing on bikes on the course, I will have a look at editing the chap out and also the whole marshal post :)

[Sheralee S]

Such a great shot! Great timing to catch that guy in the sky as well as the one in the foreground and both of them sharp. fav!

[Peter]

@bella_ss Thank you for your great comment Sheralee another shot taken with my Sony A77ii fitted with a f2.8 28-75 mm lens:)

[Lee]

@pcoulson By clone him out post, I mean post processing. I don't think anyone would mistake your image for "a couple of chaps playing on bikes". having looked at the image again My attention is definitely drawn the marshal. I'm trying to decide if he is Jeremy Clarkson.
